At Buns and Roses we like to think ourselves unstoppable, and that is why despite illness, we rescheduled the February workshop to ensure you beautiful bunnies and lovely roses didn’t miss out on the fascinator making workshop, led by founding member and millinerextraordinaire, or as she likes to put it “the lady who makes fabric do stuff it didn’t want to” Hayley.

Competition was high on the night, with support wire flying into fettles!

Style and class were out in full force whether that be 40’s kitsch, operatic grace or stylish stripes.

Everybody was surprised how quickly and effectively a fabric covered fascinator can be made, with many items made and ready to wear by the end of the workshop..with a few of our ladies inspired to think bigger with intentions to hit hobbicraft in the morning to go large with their design at home.

All in all a fabulous evening with even more fabulous ladies and an instructor par excellence!

We stitched some blood bags

for Diamond Blackfan Anaemia

Look up that name

On a more serious note though, Diamond blackfan anaemia is a
blood disorder which prevents the creation of red blood cells, leaving victims
chronically under weight (we heard about a little three year old girl that has
to use a medical feeding tube at night to keep her weight up), having to have
regular blood transfusions to get red blood cells, dialysis to remove
unfiltered iron from their blood and with sclerosis of the liver as a result.
Some lucky sufferers will find a bone marrow match and become strong enough to
receive a bone marrow transplant. This can cure the disorder. If you are not
already on the bone marrow register you can apply here
